dmd for 64bit, windows atleast, since gdc and windows is a no go - please!

Why is GDC a no-go on Windows? I've even compiled GDC itself on Vista x64 a while back. (But then I went back to 32-bit Vista, because I found 64-bit Windows so freakin' schizophrenic.) L.

well, basically I haven't been able to install/compile gdc to use it on windows. I tried, mignw and all, but without success. I have no experience with gcc, so that is the problem I guess. It would be very very usefull if there were some documented steps on how to compile/install and use mingw/gdc on windows. :\

I never got mingw to work, but cygwin worked fine. Just make sure you install all needed headers/libraries to build GCC/GDC and it'll work, I promise ;) L.

So if I install cygwin and mingw I should be able to compile gcc/gdc then? I don't wan't to make cygwin dependable executables though :\

You don't need mingw if you have cygwin. At least, I just installed cygwin and that's all I needed. I don't think the executables need cygwin, just GDC and GCC need cygwin. L.

alright, thanks I will try it. Is there a specifical GCC toolchain version which I should use with GDC or can I use the latest (4.3.0 I think it is)?

This is the wrong way to go. Cygwin compiled executables definitely need cygwin to run! When you're running something under cygwin you're actually running an app that is using a windows port of the linux programming APIs. If you compile an app using gcc under cygwin you're explicitly linking it to the cygwin environment. Yeah you can still redistribute it, but you'll need to distribute the appropriate cygwin dll's and so forth along with your app. mingw and gdc win (http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/) are really what he wants. I've been using mingw and gdcwin to create binary redistributable windows apps for some time now (yes with Tango), without any issues what-so-ever. Dominik, if you have any specific problems, maybe we can help you sort them out. Tim.

well the problem right now is that I don't know what I have to get and what I have to do in order to have gdc (with Tango) on my windows box for both 32bit and 64bit compilation. It is not imperative that I have both 32 and 64bit on 32bit box, I can have 32bit on 32bit OS and 64bit on 64bit OS, it doesn't matter. I just can't find out what I have to download and how to install/compile GDC by myself in order to use GDC on Windows, since I have no experience with gcc. Do I download mingw, do I also download MSYS, do I download them in binary or in source, what then? What version of GCC is that then? Can I use latest gcc somehow etc.. lots of questions :)

Last time I checked, it was not possible to build 64-bit applications using MinGW. The MinGW developers are working on it though. I don't think there is any way to output 64-bit code for Windows at the moment.

In theory, LLVMDC should be able to do this. Here's the link: http://www.dsource.org/projects/llvmdc And frankly, given the slow progress of GDC recently, I'm starting to think that it may be the preferred alternative D compiler anyway. I'll be very excited once it's production-quality. Sean

OK, this'll probably start a flame war, but I really think Vista's underrated. I like it a lot. OTOH, all x64 Windows are f**ked up: two program files, two registries, two "system32" folders (I kid you not: the x64 one is still called like that). Two different explorers, so you'll have to install explorer plugins twice, both x32 and x64.. It's really impossible to maintain. Not to mention the numerous incompatibilities. L.

I think the problem with Vista is that just that Microsoft finally got things right pretty much right at last with XP in terms of the OS. It was the first time Win95 and WinNT really were integrated. And that was a big deal. This time all they've got to encourage people to switch is glitz and hype. That's not enough to impress the folks in corporate IT centers with the big budgets. XP works pretty darn well. That's the biggest problem with Vista. --bb

Completely agreed. I don't know if it's telling or not, but Windows 7 is possibly slated for release sometime in the next year (http://www.news.com/8301-13860_3-9911470-56.html). Like the article says that might just be a developer release. Even if it's not, it's supposed to come out in 2010 or so. That seems terribly quick, and I'm not sure if it's just MS being MS or if they really realized what an unattractive OS Vista is for most people.

No they didn't. The big thing that Vista adds that XP/Server 03 didn't have is kernel security (and integrated OneCare, and that funny desktop search thing, and...). For people who know how to use it right (for example my dad just clicks accept on anything), it's a far more secure solution than anything any other OS has.

Vista is _not_ a secure OS. on the contrary, most other OSes, including ones who got extinct a decade ago provide more security than windows. Would you consider your house secured if it had a door with a large lock and a built-in key and a sign on it that said "Please do not enter if you do not have permission to"?? What would stop a thief to just ignore the sign and use the built-in key to steal your stuff? how is that secure in your eyes? *nix Oses and even OSes that were running on Mainframes in the 60's have had a much *much* better security than the latest and best MS has to offer. --Yigal PS if you want real security at the kernel level than check out SElinux for linux or even more advanced capability based micro-kernel approaches such as coyotos or L4sec based on L4.

Perhaps that "problem" is part of the point of Vista. People were eager to upgrade to XP because the previous OSes sucked. So MS makes an OS with lots more features and candy, but all in a way that sucks, so that people become eager to upgrade to Windows 7, hehe. :P (nonetheless after spending money on Vista). So maybe it's all a clever marketing ploy. xD -- Bruno Medeiros - MSc in CS/E student http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?BrunoMedeiros#D

I believe you can pass -mno-cygwin to make it use the mingw stuff instead. Anders
